[Book Two of the Copper & Cobalt Trilogy]

Bridget and her best friend Celena return to the States as local celebrities after their otherworldly adventures in Snowdonia, Wales. They are now in possession of not only ancient knowledge, but a treasure of inconceivable value. Learning its capabilities in secret, they also protect the magical object from Paul, the boy who nearly murdered them to claim it.

Wielding the artifact comes with another price, however, and Bridget quickly learns the danger of tampering with a power she doesn't fully understand. For the first time, the girls are separated, and Bridget uncovers a crushing truth. She must not only confront a web of betrayal and jealousy, but her own mistakes at last. Finding out who she really is and her enemy's true identity may be the most painful truth of all.

I write young adult fantasy. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, I now live in Austin, Texas. I believe in freedom of speech, thought and religion.

I've been interested in Wales ever since high school. Two years ago I got the idea for a Welsh-themed trilogy. I started looking for a lake that my characters could visit and found Llyn Caerwych, and because of its location a whole new world opened up for me – Snowdonia, a beautiful national park in North Wales. Within walking distance from the lake was Bryn Cader Faner, a 4,000-year-old ring cairn, and I ran with it! That would be the portal to send Bridget and Celena back in time to 500 BC.

The characters themselves were inspired by the two most influential women in my life: Cynthia Bowler, my best friend from high school (and also the artist who designed my book covers!) and my daughter, Bridget.

The books in the Copper & Cobalt Trilogy are: Lake Caerwych, The Space Between Worlds and Isle of Apples.
